Reese Gets More Than Julia
Reese now Officially Makes More Money Julia Roberts - finally talent and looks triumph over repulation!
Reese is going to set to beat Robert's record as the highest paid actress ($24 million for Mona Lisa Smile). The Walk the Line star will earn $29 million for upcoming horror film 'Our Family Trouble'.
The 29-year-old will hopefully win the Best Actress award at Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony (despite what is likely to be an awards dominated by Bareback Mounting) for her acclaimed role in the Johnny Cash biopic.

P-Diddy Needs a Pimp Daddy
MSNBC is reporting that the rap impresario (read "dickhead") is in Brazil, enjoying Carnival, where he was spotted by reporters slipping into a hot spot known for its low-priced call girls, reports our source in Rio.
A source said “The name of the place is ‘Help’ and the girls there are supposed to be the cheapest prostitutes in the city.” 'Help' is a main hot spot of the city, and known for it's low priced call girls. After he noticed the reporters he had to sneak in through a garage.

Human Upgrades
Someone put a lot of effort into this Flash driven website! Human Upgrade products include: SimpleNose, SimpleTooth , SimpleEar and SimpleCunt (there are, of course, several pictures of the last one), as well as the 6th finger or webbed feet to give you that extra sporting advantage!
Best sellers, however, will surely be the MultiNipple, HandClit and my personal favourite the CunTongue!
Great Scam
I Don't Like You In That Way is reporting that Brad and Angelina are registered at Tiffany & Co. I searched for 'Pitt' and 'Jolie', but I didn't get them. Here's a screen cap that was taken before Tiffany's removed it (because it was a hoax or because Brangelia didn't want it public, is unclear).
But it made me think was a great way to get free stuff, from overzealous and naive fans, in seven easy steps:
- 1. Pick a couple that have sufficient paparazzi status - no one will give a crap .
- 2. Find out the date they are getting married, if you don't know just guess - the fact that you are releasing "new" information (i.e. when the wedding is) will just draw drawn more attention to your list!
- 3. Create a g-mail/yahoo/msn e-mail account with your celebrities name in it. Don't worry if you have to add numbers or extra letters to get it (the more cryptic it is the more are likely people will think that it is done deliberately to hind the celeb's true identity)
- 4. Make sure you register at a posh/chic (i.e. pretentious) place, you won't find Tom-Cat registered at WalMart or Target!
- 5. Choose expensive pretentious stuff to put in your registry - those Hollywood types love that kind of self-important crap.
- 6. Choose things that you can identify with the celeb - for example get a gold-covered copy of "Dianetics" for Tom-Cat or handcuffs and a whip if you're doing Brangelina.
- 7. YOU'RE DONE! Just wait for the general public die hard fans to spend all of their savings on small gold serving spoon and enjoy!
- 8. BONUS #1: If the weddings cancelled sell it all on eBay as "Unwanted gifts from cancelled celeb wedding" - - the same stupid saps that bought them for the celebs in the first place will buy them up at three-times the price!
- 9. BONUS #2: Donate them all to charity. The people you give them too won't give a crap who they were intended for, but they'll sell them and get enough food to last a few years!

"I'm Your Man!" George Michael Busted Again
George Michael was woken up, only to go-go directly to jail over the weekend. The 42-year-old singer was arrested in central London Saturday night on suspicion of drug possession after police discovered him slumped over the steering wheel of a car.
A passing motorist noticed the singer's condition and called officials to the scene. Paramedics examined Michael but determined that he did not need medical attention.
I guess he felt an arrest would be just the publicity stunt that was needed so people could notice that he was retiring.
A passing motorist noticed the singer's condition and called officials to the scene. Paramedics examined Michael but determined that he did not need medical attention.
Michael was detained for about seven hours before being bailed to return to a police station next month pending police investigation. If convicted of possessing Class C drugs, a category that includes cannabis, tranquilizers and some painkillers, the singer could face up to two years in prison (he might enjoy that) and an unlimited fine under British law.
It's not Michael's first run-in with the law. In 1998, he was arrested in a Beverly Hills park after engaging in "lewd gay behavior" in front of a plainclothes policeman in a public restroom. Following the incident, Michael revealed that he was gay - which was a surprised absolutely no one!
Barely 10 days earlier had announced that he was "saying farewell to the world of pop music" (he can't just say he's retiring?). Of course since no one noticed he's using a working on a documentary about his life to put the record "straight" first.I guess he felt an arrest would be just the publicity stunt that was needed so people could notice that he was retiring.

What If They Mated?
A great site that has morphed the rich and fomous to see what their possible offspring would be if they decided to hook up.
Amazingly even good looking couples (like Val Kilmer & Elizabeth Shue, Matt LeBlanc & Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Christina Aguilera &Enrique Iglesias) aren't likely to have attactive looking offspring.
Perhaps this is why Jen Aniston didn't want kids with Brad Pitt (?)
Rather disturbingly a Matt Damon / Winona Ryder concoction would result in someone who looks uncannily like Eddie Izzard (see above).
My personal favs:
- Cujo & Whitefang
- Howard Stern & Angie Everheart
- Greg Luganis & Steve Kemetiko
- HRH Prince William & Britney Spears
- Mr & Mrs Bill Gate
- Ellen DeGeneres & Anne Heche (the best)
Rice Ruins it for Keibler
Well it seems that the men's vote was pretty much split between the sexy Stacy Keibler and, ex-American Football player, Jerry Rice. Of course Jerry is solely responsible for a bunch a men to go gay and get into the show. As for me, I noticed Keibler when the wife was watching it and have now seen parts of the show for two weeks now (the parts when she's on at least), oh yeah and that Burke dancer too, very hot!
In any case somehow Keibler came third, which seems impossible only because she was actually good (and not just good to look at). Jerry on the other hand was stiff and was more of a magician, who uses an assistant to draw your eyes away and not focus on him. In the end, there must have been more gridiron fans than wrestling geeks watching the show - it is the only explaination!
In the end the the Lachey wins. Why? 'Cause the women's vote wasn't split! If Jerry wasn't there the men would have been free to think with their heads (the more important ones) and then she would've won.
Just for the record, I didn't vote - my hetrosexuality is still intact...just.
Ah well we'll just have to make do with some pictures curtosy of Stuff Magazine here and here.

Super Cool Dude: Samuel L. Jackson
Jackson burst on the scenes as the awesome Jules Winfield in Tarrintino's Pulp Fiction. He is still the only reason that I can't choose between Reservior Dogs and Fiction as Quentin's best flick.
Of course Jackson's been around a long while before that (if you are in any proof, just look at his filmography). I still enjoy seeing him pop up in films that I hadn't previously known he was in; like "Coming to America", "Jurasic Park" and "True Romance" (although I do have some vague recollection of seeing him there). He was the reason that I went to go and see "Fresh" it was billed (at least in the UK as a Jackson film).
It's understandable as he won the BAFTA (British Arts Film and TV Awards) for Best Supporting Actor in Pulp. How he didn't get the Oscar I'll never know, losing to Landau was ridiculous and he made it clear when you could see him swear at missing out, he knew better, but as usual the Oscars are clueless (at least for the most part) In any case a BAFTA is a far better award, even if less prostigious, and a greater sign of quality and talent (Hugh Grant's and Bareback Mounting's wins aside).
The only real perplexing thing about the man is his ability to traverse good/great films like Pulp, Coach Carter & Fresh (which introduced us to the impresive Sean Nelson aSCD 10 years from now) and dross like SWAT, the upcoming Snakes On A Plane (I suspect) & Deep Blue Sea (which only saving grace was the way Jackson was killed and at least one black characher suvived 'til the end.)
Either way there's been far more good than bad. Untilmately whoever follows the list on this page he has got to be the ultimate SCD; anyone who plays Jules, Shaft, Elmo McElroy, a Jedi Knight and the voice of a Super Hero (Frozon in the Incredibles) just has to be.
Links to his bio and a great soundboard.
Liverpool Go Second
Liverpool FC joined ManScum in second place (behind only on goal difference and with one more game played.)
It was another tight games as they beat Scum city rivals Man City 1-0 (who had Liverpulian, Joey Barton send off in the first half). Rafa Benitez was far from happy about the win: "I am not happy with the final score. It was three important points but I like to see us score more goals because at only 1-0 we put ourselves under pressure.
"I always say you need to score the second goal and finish the game but we couldn't get it and that made us nervous. We didn't play at our level when they went down to 10 men and we made some mistakes. We did create some chances but we didn't take them. Morientes is playing really well outside the box and gives the team a lot of possibilities, but inside the box we need to finish and maybe sometimes be more selfish."
You can understand his frustration when once again a forward has failed to score and left it up to the midfield, thank God they're so good. You've got to wonder just what they would be capible of with a forward that can tuck away all the chances (let's hope Fowler can return to his best and do that.)
In other news ManScum won an unimportant game against the mighty team from Wigan. It was obviously important enough for Ronald and Neville to celebrate by fulfilling one of their homo-erotic dream! Other's chose to celebrate it another way.
Is Pearce Setting Himself Up For England?
The 43-year-old is one of the leading contenders to replace Sven-Goran Eriksson as England manager after this summer's World Cup, and the Football Association will not have to pay compensation if they offer the former international defender the job. This follows the recent anouncement by Pearce that he is without a contract, "There is a contract there, but it's not signed," said Pearce.
So is he setting himself up to be Sven's replacement?
If England do decide to appoint an English coach/manager (which I feel they should), then he is probably one of the better English managers around. I really feel like this current team can produce a performance similar to the one in Italia '90 (or if we are lucky England '66), and I fear the whole Graham Taylor-history repeating itself scenario, which is why I'm dead set against the possibility of Sam Alardyce or Steve McClaren stepping into the hotseat.
It was great news to see Bolton Wanderers go out of the UEFA Cup. I kind of like Bolton and some of the players, but that loss, and hopeful an exit from the FA Cup together with a failure to break into the top four might mean the FA won't think further about him. Middlesbrough may have gone through, but lagging so close to the relegation zone and with a possibly humiliating loss to probable UEFA Cup Champions, AS Roma, coming up, it will hopefully put pay to McClaren's claim.
This leaves us with Peter Taylor, Alan Curbishley and Stuart Pearce. Taylor will have trouble being out of the top flight, (although being in charge of the English kiddies will help a bit), while Curbishley is yet again showing that looks can be decieving, and demonstrating more proof that promising starts always seem to go pear-shaped as time go by.
There's a fear, of course, is that Pearce would just be another Kevin Keegan (little managerial experience, and just working with passion.) I think Pearce is more rounded than that, yes he has the passion, but he also the temprement and a better tactical knowledge than Keegan and all of his fellow English competitors.
